One app, with everything inside
This release turns a set of scripts and helper tools into a single app that you drag to Applications.
New
A hotkey of your own, set in Settings
The key you hold to dictate was set up in a separate tool, with a configuration file.
Now the app listens for the key itself. Open Settings… in the menu bar menu, click the hotkey field and press a key or a combination; a single modifier such as Right Option, the default, works too.
Choose and download a model in the app
Changing the Whisper model meant a script in the terminal.
Settings now lists every Whisper model, from the small and fast ones to the most accurate, with its size. Choose one and it downloads and becomes the model in use.
Updates from the menu bar
A new version meant running the installer again.
The app now checks for a new version when it starts and once a day, and Check for Updates… in the menu bar menu does it at once. An update downloads, replaces the app and starts it again.
Improved
- Everything the app needs is inside it: there is nothing else to install, and it opens at login by itself.
- Grammar correction by a second model is gone: it made every dictation slower and changed words you had said.
Fixed
- A recording of silence no longer pastes a sentence you never said, such as "Thank you."
